The Anti-Union Sentiment.

To fully understand
the depth of the growing anti-union sentiment in America, you have to
understand the core mission and true purpose of the organized labor
movement, which is not what many rank-and-file union members
think it is. The initial design and the initial motivational principle
for the modern organized labor movement is spelled out in the closing
lines of the Communist Manifesto. Allow me to paraphrase, in modern
English, those infamous, inflammatory words of Karl Marx:

Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by forcible overthrow of the existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at the Communistic revolution. The workers have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.

WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

Those words were written in 1848, and they hit the world like a
bombshell. All Communist organizing aimed at world revolution begins
with low level, local community organizing, and the first community
Communism ever sought to organize was labor. But the organizers rarely
identify themselves as Communists or, as revolutionaries, or as anything
other than labor organizers, working solely for the good of labor,
acting as a counter-force to the “exploitation” of labor by the
demonized bosses.

Divide and conquer is the name of the game.
To accomplish Marx’s goals, society must be divided. The first place
Marxism began to instill a sense of division and promote the beginnings
of class warfare into the subconscious collective mind of any
society involved the relationship between employee and employer. The
idea is to create bogus divisions – classes, if you will – of citizens
of a country, and then set them against each other, to lay the
groundwork of instability and internal animosity leading to conditions
ripe for revolution.

Community Organizers of the labor union
variety rarely if ever publicly invoke any part of the Communist
Manifesto other than the insidious WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! They
don’t want to be up front about what they are. You may have wondered
why so many big labor unions have names that include words like United, and International.
It’s not hard to figure out. The scope is global; it always was. The
local union is not interested in merely recruiting the employees of
Grandma’s Pizzeria, because Grandma is somehow exploiting them and they
are not getting a fair wage. The local union is not really local,
because it intends to recruit all employees of all
pizzerias, whether they feel exploited or not. And, it intends to grow
its own scope, and thus recruit employees of businesses other than
pizzerias.

And, it intends to link-arms with other locals and other unions, in solidarity against all of the demonized owners of or investors in business. That’s how national, and perhaps one day international union strikes may be orchestrated, as we have seen in Greece, and as we are now seeing in Wisconsin.

Public
sector labor unions, as seen in the current Wisconsin teacher
situation, oppose not the bosses of any private business, but the
taxpayers. They oppose us. Their pay and their benefits come
out of the taxpayer; so do their deducted union dues. We are paying
them to do this to us, and we – you and I – are paying their union dues,
out of our tax dollars. Every union in America gives humongous
contributions, out of their collected membership dues, which the
taxpayer provided, directly to the political Party of their choice,
which is the Communist Party. I mean Democrat. That taxpayer supplied
public sector union money is the lifeblood of the Democrat Party in
America, and the Democrat Party may be expected to stop working, shut
down the entire constitutional process and go to actual warfare to
prevent the stoppage of that big union cash flow.

Wisconsin
union teachers, and Wisconsin Democrat lawmakers, both, have amply
proved their animosity toward the rule of law, the Constitution and the
established Democratic process. Wisconsin Senators actually act to
defeat the established Democratic process and oppose the voters of their
own state. That their actions are anti-American is just crystal clear.
They act in open defiance of the voting public, and the tidal wave of
citizen outrage at their open display of personal greed, selfishness,
political corruption and wild spending of other people’s money. They
would rather spend their state, and their nation, into bankruptcy than
give up on any part of the “right” of collective bargaining, or give up
one penny in pay or benefits, or one penny in union political
contributions.

They actually hate America that much.

The Useful Idiot
devoted union member who does not see the relationship to Marxism, has
been tricked into a relationship of animosity with the one who pays his
wages. The reason a man goes into business is to make a better life,
which means, profit. So the purpose of the business is to produce
profit. The devoted union supporter has been tricked into believing that
the moral purpose of the business is to provide income and
benefits to employees, at the expense of profit, which is considered to
be evil. He doesn’t recognize that this is Marxist morality, or that it
is logically upside down. He comes to work against the profitability
of the business that pays him to work for it’s success. He thereby
dooms the business that provides his job, while singing solidarity forever. His loyalty is to his union, not to his own employer.

I wrote about unions before, in the Argument Against Unions page. I copied Solzhenitsyn’s famous speech to American labor onto a page on this site, in the Solzhenitsyn Speaks page. Things are now coming to a head.

It is time to take off the gloves. We need legislation, at both state and federal level, to eliminate and make illegal

All collective bargaining in the public sector.

All employer automatic deductions of union dues in the public sector.

All currently existing contractual agreements involving public sector unions.

If
government employees want to join or continue to belong to a union,
that’s fine; they can pay their own dues, without any payroll deduction
done by their employers. If employees want to petition for a raise or
increase in benefits, they are perfectly free to do so, but not through
any collective bargaining. They do not own the taxpayers.

Private
industry should look at the conditions unions have brought to America
and to all industry, and consider similar actions toward private sector
unions. Government, including courts, should favor business over
Communist organization on a case by case basis.

Marxist community organizing, which began with the labor movement, has infected many, many areas of human activity. The whole Green Movement;
various student movements; civil rights movements; the environmental
movement; the homosexual movement; the abortion movement; there is
little if anything left out. Government dares to tell us what light
bulbs to use, what to eat, what kind of cars to buy, or even make; there is no end to what our own government tells us to do. We are supposed to be free.

Note
that whenever you see things blowing up somewhere, which is now a daily
event, the first ones into the street, the first ones organized, the
first ones who move at the drop of a hat are the unions. Look at
Greece, and so many other countries. Look at the national strikes.
Look at the national shut-downs. Students will get out there too, but
note well that labor always leads the way.

It’s time to take the unions down.

Seek the Truth; find the Way; live the Life; please God and live forever.

Hey man, you are way off base here. Unions don't see a business
owner's profits as immoral, they simply believe that employees deserve a
fair wage and good working conditions arrived at through negotiation.
And the labor movement has nothing to do with communism, no more than
modern Catholicism has anything to do with the Inquisition. I really
think that you need to do a bit more reading of history, because from
what I can see, your views are very badly informed. In particular I
would advise you to look into how coal miners and other industrial
laborers were treated prior to the Union Movement gaining strength.
Putting a worker's safety at risk IS immoral and that is exactly what
happened on a massive scale.

Yes, yes, I’m sure all early coal operators fully intended to
cripple, maim and kill all their employees, simply because it makes such
good business sense.

When you read history, Chris, read it with an open mind and
consider both sides in any contentious issue. And you might try
historical sources other than the literature put out by organized
national and international unions, or other Communist organizations.

The free market determines “fair” wages and conditions far better
than any anti-company union or other subversive organization, or any
government. In the end, if Communism wins, and we’re all working
together in the great collective commune, do you think miners (or anyone
else) will be making more, or less, than they’re making now? (Hint:
Everybody’s making $20 per month in Cuba.)

The history of the abuses of the coal industry are well documented
for anyone to learn. Obviously you have pretended to really understand
what the labor movement is really about. Do business really pay people
what the market will bear? NO! They pay as LITTLE as they can get. And
as long as they can find someone to work for LESS they will take them.
What organized labor does is provide the common worker a voice in the
workplace. Ask any Wal-Mart manager what he must do if he hears about
any union organizing. Threats, intimidation, along with physical danger
of the employees involved are part of an overall scheme to keep the
workers "in line". Wal-Mart could pay all of their employees $50 dollars
an hour and still be profitable. Besides, all the babies you want to
save from Abortion makes you a good person. But as soon as that Baby is
born, the "free market" takes over. Cause you wouldn't want a penny of
your tax dollars to pay for the welfare of that baby or it's mother.

As much as I hate to pop anyone’s happy little equality and
fairness balloon, employers pay as little as they can get away with, and
employees demand as much as they can get away with. That's the way it
works. It's called competition, for jobs, and for available labor.
Nobody, including me, likes a monopoly, on either side. Collusion among
industry captains is as much despised here as collusion among unions to
bring down whole industries and even whole nations.

The very idea that Wal-Mart could or should pay all employees $50
per hour is simply ludicrous. Why not $1,000 per hour? What would
that do to the price of any and every particular item sold at Wal-Mart?
Show me the evidence that Wal-Mart threatened any form of violence
toward any employee. That is a union tactic used to keep members (and non-members) in line. You’re just making this stuff up.

Show me the item in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution, or
anywhere else in the Constitution, that requires a federal tax to
support babies, or mothers, or welfare of any kind. It isn’t there.

Say what you will, I will not support unions, welfare, or
anything else that came out of the Communist Manifesto. I mean Democrat
Party Platform.

Welfare: From middle-English phrases wel faren; fare thee wel.
Synonyms: good, interest, weal, well-being.
Definition 1: The state of doing well especially in respect to good fortune, happiness, well-being, or prosperity.
Definition 2: Aid in the form of money or necessities for those in need.
Definition 3 (modern-English): Agency or program that distributes aid to needy.

The paragraph you quoted is called the preamble of the
Constitution; it is the lead-in, or the introduction, explaining what
the Constitution is and why it is being enacted. As such, it is not
law; it is the preamble to the law. What follows it is the law.

The only other place the word welfare is used is in the opening line of Article 1 Section 8, as follows:

Section 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

The Framers were clearly speaking about the providing for the common
defense and general welfare of the whole United States, not of the needy
only. And they intended the first definition, not the last, which did
not exist yet. In America, the general welfare of the public has been a
roaring historical success because of the unique rights, endowed by
God, of

Equality before the law;

Life;

Liberty;

Pursuit of Happiness.

Identified in our founding document, the Declaration of Independence,
and supplemented by the specific individual citizen rights spelled out
in the rest of the Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights. When
citizens enjoy these rights, they may be expected to fare well on their
own, as they historically have done.

You may be thinking of the Constitution of the Soviet Union.
They didn’t fare so well there; re-check your history. Bottom line here
is that neither the United States nor Wal-Mart has any legal obligation
to spoon-feed you, lead you around by the nose or wipe your butt for
you. That’s what your mommy is for. The American working place is for
grown-ups who have the right and the ability to take care of themselves
and their families, and to be charitable.

I understand that you take your political beliefs from the Christian
Bible. If Christ were a carpenter today, would he work union?
Absolutely. What did Christ tell us to do? "...feed the hungry, clothe
the naked, give comfort to those that are in hospitals and prisons." 37
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry
and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we
see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe
you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the
least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ How
much better it is to help the workers than by paying them a decent wage
and healthcare? How much more Christian can you get than that? How about
the Children of these working people? The real problem in America is
that all the money is at the top. Now, how do you get that money to the
bottom? Cause that's the way our economy works. As long as the lower
classes have some money to spend, our economy booms. When America was
about 1/3rd unionized( 1950's)America was prosperous because money was
getting to the common working class. If you guys want to blame someone,
don't blame labor unions, blame Regan for selling out our manufacturing
base to the lowest bidder. I want to thank you for being honest and
willing to publish exactly what I wrote. I think you have the courage of
conviction, however, obviously deluded! ;)

I take my religious beliefs, my faith and morality from the Christian Bible. I take my political beliefs from the American Constitution.

When Christ was a carpenter he demanded nothing from anyone. He
offered a day’s work, or a product, for a day’s pay, or a price. Very
simple; nothing to it. You have fallen into the “social justice” trap
of Marxist ideology that purposely obfuscates the issue to confuse
charity with entitlements. Charity is given freely and voluntarily,
else it is not charity. Charity is given from your possessions or
abilities, voluntarily. If it is given from anyone else’s possessions
or abilities, or not voluntarily, then it is not charity.

The Beatitudes in Matthew 5, and the Blessings and the Curses in
Matthew 25, which you quote, address how men are to relate to one
another. It says no more about how an employer is to treat an employee
than it says about how an employee is to treat an employer. There is no
division here; the only division, in the minds of men, was placed there
by conjured-up, invented and unnecessary notions of class envy and
class warfare. Unions (and Marxism, and the Democrat Party) work to put
enmity between the employer and the employee, and to put them at cross
purposes, and opposed to each other when they should be working together
for a common purpose.

Note that, in Christian morality, envy violates a Commandment of God. Redistribution – which is really what entitlements, including the entitlement to a job and to pre-specified job benefits, is. Before you may redistribute anything, or use anyone’s property for someone else’s benefits, you must first take it from someone. And that is yet another violation of yet another Commandment of God.

In the political realm, redistribution of private property
without consent is a direct violation of the right to private property
established in Amendment 5 of the Bill of Rights, and reinforced by the
14th Amendment.

You seem to have a problem with the profit of the employer, but
not with the profit of an employee. You are perfectly willing to
confiscate enough from Wal-Mart to pay employees $50 per hour. Would
you be equally willing to confiscate employee profit for any such
sublime intention?

(Whatever excess an employee makes after paying for his food, shelter, clothing, etc., is his

profit = discretionary income = private property

which he really doesn’t “need” as Marxism typically determines human
need.) Would you feel that it would be a good thing for all of this
employee profit to be submitted to the good of Wal-Mart to keep the
business in the black, for the good of everybody working at Wal-Mart?

No?

Gee, I wonder why not.

In all fairness, you might think that the employees had a moral
obligation to provide for the welfare of the employer's children.

Vic

Dear Vic,

I do have a moral obligation to take care of my employers kids. I
show up every morning and work my tail off to earn the wages he pays.
Since I'm not independently wealthy, I can only give my TIME - chunks
of my life in return for wages. That's what Marx was talking about.
The value of, say cotton, is less than the value of cloth. And what
makes cloth more valuable? The LABOR in it! So you call "Disposable
income" profit? When in the history of man did he ever have this
"Profit"? I would argue that it wasn't until the Labor reforms of the
late 1800's. If you look closely at a Union logo, you will see many of
the dates of establishment around 1880-90. It was not uncommon for a
Man to work 12 hours a day just to eat . I doubt that Jesus
just worked and hoped that he would be paid out of the goodness of his
employer. I'm sure that you have worked "off the clock" knowing that
your employer would recognize the effort. Did he? How do you know?
Unless you were paid overtime wages there’s no way to know. I think the
class envy is actually in the opposite direction than you make it. I
have worked my whole life and paid my Taxes. So, when I'm ready to
retire, my Social Security will be there. Unlike all the others who
thought they we getting ahead by not paying their taxes (giving them
'disposable income'). Now, they are reaching retirement age and then
they want to claim their SS. But when they apply, they realize that they
didn't pay into it. I was a fool and paid my taxes, and now I have my
SS. And since I worked Union, I have a pension too. So, who’s envious
of whom? I'm not "greeting" at wall-mart for minimum wage just so I can
eat. I'll leave you with a few quotes I find enlightening: "The
hospital strikers have demonstrated that you don't get a job done unless
you are willing to show the Man you are not afraid...if you are not
willing to pay that price, then you don't deserve the rewards or
benefits that go along with it" -Malcom X "Every advance in this
half-century: Social Security, civil rights, Medicare, aid to education -
came with the support and leadership of American Labor." -Jimmy
Carter "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capitol. Capitol is only
the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not
first existed. Labor is superior to capitol, and deserves much the
higher consideration." -Abraham Lincoln

Kenny:

Showing up and working is not enough, according to your Marxist
rules. Whatever profit = wealth = disposable income = private property
you earn above and beyond what you need for food, shelter, clothing,
etc., is excess and you do not need it. In all fairness to the
collective, you need to surrender it, every payday. The same goes for
any retirement income you get. After all, that’s what you insist that
your employer surrender.

Man has been making profit = wealth ever since the dawn of
specialization. When a man makes more of whatever he makes than he
needs, he has created wealth, or profit. The only source of wealth
creation in the world is the working man. Governments do not produce
wealth; they only spend it. Only human hands and human minds make
wealth.

You need to look around, Kenny, and pay attention. Greece is
running out of money. Social Security is running out of money. Your
union will run out of money. America is running out of money. Your
future is not secure. “Entitlements” like those are nothing but a
Ponzi-scheme.

Regarding your aversion to working “off the clock,” I have worked
off the clock all my life, although most of it was salaried rather than
hourly; I have always taken pride in my work, and an interest in the
success of the enterprises I worked for. Today I am retired from two
careers, and still working over 60 hours a week. I don’t know how to
not work. I like working.

Pride goeth before a fall, Kenny. There is nothing shameful in
honest work, even as a Wal-Mart greeter. If any work is beneath your
dignity, then you may be in for an unhappy future if the economy keeps
going in the current direction.

See the Refuting Marx
page for the total fraud that has infected your thought processes
through no fault of your own; you have likely been mal-educated in it
all your life. See the American Founding Principles for the antidote.

I bid you good thinking.

Vic

As part of the ongoing effort to upgrade this whole website, upgraded this webpage to the new BB 2.0 - SBI! 3.0 release and to make use of the new reusable code features.
An earlier phase of this major conversion corrupted or adversely affected some fonts, alignments, quotes and tables in the previously published webpages. Not to worry; this phase is converting them all, one by one.
Eventually, every webpage on this site will have the same look and feel as this one.
LOVE this new release!

This is insane. The title of this website is THinking Catholic. The Catholic Church is one of the biggest proponents of Labor Unions. Unions are mini democracies, workers coming together, and democratically electing leaders to represent them at the table. Public Sector Unions such as Firefighters and Policemen need unions to secure safety standards. Both are very dangerous professions. Who would be looking out for their safety if not for collective bargaining?

THere is so much anti Union sentiment around in the US that it is scary. The greatest generation brough us American Labor Unions. THey came back from the war and band together to form the greatest middle class in the world' history. Now idiots rant, and sheep move, and there is so much anti Union sentiment. One day everyone will wake up and hate their working conditions and say "We should form a union" But they won't have the courage and stick to it ness of the Greatest Generation to do it for them. It's all being taken away from the masses by a carrot on a stick.

People should google Pope John Paul Labor Unions and hear a recent Saint's opinion on Labor Unions. Conservative Catholics would be very surprised by his words.

FredSilk:

Your "mini democracy" doesn't represent me, nor does your employer have any representation in it. Would you approve of a "mini democracy" of employers who colluded and conspired together to cut wages and benefits? Police and Firefighters do not "need" to gang up on me, the taxpayer, for higher wages and benefits when I have nothing whatsoever to say about it. I pay their wages, yet I have no place at the bargaining table. Show me the community that tries to reduce or eliminate "safety standards" for first responders. That's not what unions are really about. That's just a typical union lie meant to obfuscate and blur the real intention.

The Greatest Generation did not bring us unions; the Communist Manifesto did that, in 1848. Many of the Greatest Generation were "organized" and schmoozed into becoming manipulated and controlled useful idiots of Marxism. Look, today, at the industries they unionized, particularly the auto industry, and see what they have done to them. Consider what they might now be, and what the middle class might now be, if not for unions.

John Paul the Great's foray into Communist Poland, and his stand with Lech Walesa, was a monumental move against, not Capitalism, not free enterprise, not big corporations, not free employers, but the exact opposite of all of those things: Communism. Lech Walesa's Solidarity movement was not against any company - there were no companies in the Soviet Union, or in Warsaw Pact nations, like Poland. It was a movement against the State. The all powerful government. That which your union ultimately seeks to create here, and everywhere.

Why else would your union be national, or international, and seeking to link up with every other union of every sort? The only answer is to acquire the ability to have national and even international strikes. Even against taxpayers.

The all powerful system John Paul the Great spoke of was the all powerful state, who solely dictated work conditions, pay and benefits. Capitalism is not a system; it is natural. It happens when citizens enjoy liberty and are free to save a penny = wealth = private property and thereby improve their own condition. That's called a free market. It is natural; Communism is a "system" of man, and must be created and maintained, because it is not natural.

Lech Walesa and John Paul the Great were the first to stand for the ability of Polish laborers to strike against the government, and not have the government employ its favorite labor negotiating instrument, which was, of course, the machine gun.

I invite you to read what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said to the AFL/CIO at the Solzhenitsyn Speaks page. They didn't expect him to say what he said, or they never would have invited him to speak. But you need to hear his words, too.

The whole purpose was and is to set employees against their own employers and displace economic cooperation with animosity and strife.

"We belong to the Church militant; and She is militant because on earth the powers of darkness are ever restless to encompass Her destruction. Not only in the far-off centuries of the early Church, but down through the ages and in this our day, the enemies of God and Christian civilization make bold to attack the Creator’s supreme dominion and sacrosanct human rights.”--Pope Pius XII

"It is not lawful to take the things of others to give to the poor. It is a sin worthy of punishment, not an act deserving a reward, to give away what belongs to others."--St. Francis of Assisi

Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance
may deride it, but in the end, there it is.—Winston
Churchill

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who
deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.—Ayn Rand

Atheist Genesis:

In the beginning there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing.
And then nothing accidentally exploded and created everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally encountered other bits of everything and formed some new kinds of everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into self-replicating bits of everything.
And then some self-replicating bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into dinosaurs.

“ … for I have sworn upon
the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind
of man.” wrote Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush in
the year of our Lord 1800. The context
involved resistance to any form of Christianity or Deism legally imposing
itself throughout the USA. We must wonder what he might say
about our current government's forced imposition of strict secularism – i.e.,
anti-theism – throughout the USA. I submit that legally enforced secularism of society, like theocracy, like Marxism,
and like Islam, is, precisely, a form of tyranny over the mind of man.Nothing good can come from the religious cleansing of Judaeo-Christian society. Government imposed secularism is just another form of theocracy.
